Daylilies with a Christmas or Winter name

15 years ago

I thought it would fun in these twelve days before Christmas to post photos of daylilies with names that would fit a Christmas or Winter Holiday theme. I'll get the ball rolling with these.

I guess this is enough for now, although I could probably think of a few more. :)
Great idea for a fun thread!

Daylily Seed and Winter Sowing

That was a very informative post, didn't have any daylily seeds saved so skipped over the thread. I've lurked on the daylily forum and seen the photo results of various crosses, fascinating business, and like was said, every seedling even through controlled pollination bloomed differently if crossed w/another. At this point I'm kind of lukewarm about most daylilies, don't like the coral ones in my part shade bed but hate to get rid of them. I'm really excited about a clump of yellow ones I'm getting going. Maybe it's heresy to say this, but I'm not that enthralled with the super fancy frilly ones, maybe an exception or two. I've been waiting for Wild's to start Brave Heart again, guess they do it in 3-year cycles and missed it last spring. They always send me a freebie, and that's how I got the first two yellows, now I've ordered Going Bananas, supposed to bloom longer. One freebie I put out by the fire hydrant. Dogs do their thing on it but it's multiplied and has really pretty red blooms, Baja, not to be confused with the Baja Asian. I may try something with those yellow ones, soft yellow, not greenish leaning on the color chart, may try to cross some of those with each other. But the ditch lilies have got to go. I dislike them intensively. Except by the roadsides in the country.

Now were did I leave off, I see I covered Nancy twice, Jo, Now sweet innocent Jo, DO YOU THINK I DID NOT LOOK AT THOSE WONDERFUL ROCKS YOU PAINTED & WONDERED WHY I DON'T HAVE 1- NOT 1, NOT EVEN A 1/2 OF 1. OK I am done yelling at you :) I feel better. I know I told you CONGRATULATIONS for your new venture, inspired by David's Daylilies over the phone, But thought I would tell you again, I cant wait. Oh I am so looking forward to May 14th, Hey how far away would that be for Mary B??? MARY B. PLANT SWAP!!!!!! I forgot were. Janet, I am glad to know all went well with your DD wisdom tooth removal, My DS has to have the same thing done, Now I'm not saying he is a baby, but at 21 he will not go do it unless I go with him:) Angie, Thanks for the heads up on the Co-op, but after what I have already spent this year on Daylilies, I better slow down a bit before DH is having me replaced, & He cant do that cuz I am so looking forward to our 25 wedding anniversary, He wonders why I am working so hard in my flower's, I think in 4 years I should have things just the way I want them, 7 Yep renew our vow's, right were over the last few years have watched as other people have gotten married. Gay, Hope you get your computer figured out, I know you will send one way or the other:) Mine ticked me off so bad earlier, I had almost everyone covered 7 for some unknown reason, BUMP Off Line I Go, Oh I hate that, Did you E-mail Susan? I think someone better if you didn't, it has been a LONG time. Cindy, I know I posted to you earlier, & as I was just coming back, I see Jo saying sorry to you, I too missed it, I am very sorry your Gramma passed away, Wish I could give you a big hug & help you weed to make you feel better:) Dianne, OK, now I know this pneumonia crap has messed with my head, but for the life of me I cant remember who is getting married at your house, Is this the first for you? I think it gets easier each time, We are thinking about renting out for wedding's, Wedding's only not party's. Oh man I will have to come back again another call I have to take, :)Anita

Anita, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers will be said for your family to have strength and God's help dealing with your pain. Gloria, sounds like you've had my kind of luck. We're glad you're back in the Land of Daylilies. You know it's kind of like the Land of Oz only better. My internet wouldn't come on last night and when I called tech they said it sounds like spyware but wasn't. This morning I called back and he said it's on his end so I got him to help me set up a dial-up connection. It always goes out on the weekend when I have more time to use it. Does it happen that way with ya'll? Lucky me, I got the sweetest Mother's day card from my DS and DIL that says Love is knowing the one you care about most is also your BEST FRIEND. WOW! Nothing could be a nicer compliment than that especially since it's my DH's son although he couldn't be closer to me if he were my own blood. He's been mine for 23 years and I'm very proud of that! Angie, I wish I could help with the puter but geeky I'm not. If you don't get any help here go to the Computer Help forum. Those people are great and answer so fast. Good luck with getting it fixed. Sharon, love your yard sale finds, especially the pig. Here's my pig from Good Will I bought a couple of months ago. Great minds think alike since I'm going to put a semp in it too. It's small but I think a little one will work. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Jo, I took a picture of my lemon lily bloom but I'll wait to post it when my DSL is back on. Everytime I get ready to copy the photos to photobucket this *#$ dial-up connection goes off. Gotta go to town with DH. He's buying me a yellow rose bush for Mother's Day but he said I'll have to pick it out. OKAY! Nancy

What a great idea Debra. All the daylilies are so very pretty. And yes, I see why you added "or winter name" to the post so that you could put in another gorgeous photo of Last Snowflake. Has it won the Stout yet-LOL? I have nothing to contribute personally grown, but since I'm going page by page through Marietta's website now I came across one that is in the feeling of the season:

So many beauties. I like them all but the picture of "For a King" looked particularly nice with the flowers in the background. Since we are on this subject does anyone grow the spider (I think that's what it's called) by Herrington Christmas in Oz?

Maryl,
I don't grow Christmas In Oz, but it look pretty in all the photos I've seen. I started looking for other daylilies with holiday names on the web and was amazed by how many Tim Bell has introduced. Does anyone grow these? They're making me think I need to make a Christmas themed bed. These are the hybridizer's photos.

Look at the edge on that Hebrew Maiden. Isn't that a pretty thing. And the coloring on Gold and Frankincense is dazzling. I know that at the 2008 spring daylily show some of the local society members were commenting on how much they liked Bell's intros. Since our climate isn't particularly hospitable I think that must be a good thing for Mr. Bell. A Christmas theme would be neat Debra. It's often hot here when my daylilies start blooming and cool thoughts on warm days would be nice. And of course there's always the seasonal pictures to be shown on this forum next December. Yes, I think a "Christmas/winter" bed (must not forget Last Snowflake)would be very pleasing.
